  apart from the simple example provided on the help page, can anybody 
 post a filter which uses Force Index FI(2) or FI(13) ?
 
 FI seems like a pretty useful filer, though I dont see any discussion / threads
 on it .

  You may already know this, but fwiw, Alex Elder's two books on trading room discuss it in full detail.
 It is a good filter to tell you about the market direction, and I have tried-- and I think I have it stashed somewhere--, a filter that used the "differnce" between the two (bull vs bear) that seemed to work very well. 
 I will find it and post it here soon

  I too would be very interested in seeing force index, especially with the ability to have a running average of the values over a few days too smooth the peaks to see if it is on the whole positive or negative.  Please indeed post if you can dig it up!!!

  Try this :
 
 show stocks where the weekly MACD Histogram has been increasing for the last 1 week and the daily Force Index(2) < 0 and daily Force Index(2) > daily Force Index(2) 1 day ago and EMA(13) has been increasing for the last 5 days (= bullish)
 
 show stocks where the weekly MACD Histogram has been decreasing for the last 1 week and the daily Force Index(2) > 0 and daily Force Index(2) < daily Force Index(2) 1 day ago and EMA(13) has been decreasing for the last 5 days (= bearish)
 
 does not work well in intra-day timeframes = swing or lontime traders !!
